Both teams earned points in their midweek fixtures. Everton went to Newcastle United as road underdogs and snatched a late point thanks to a Dominic Calvert-Lewin penalty. 

As for Burnley, they drew with Wolves as home favorites and extended their unbeaten run to four games.

EPL Prediction – Everton vs. Burnley

Everton Moneyline (-155)

This is such a good sell-high spot on Burnley, who have received so much luck in recent matches. 

They drew West Ham despite losing the xG battle 0.7 to 2.1 and went on to beat Brentford after playing up a man for 80+ minutes. 

Then, despite going down a man to Chelsea and conceding four expected goals, they managed a point. In the midweek, they drew against Wolves, who were without five starters. 

For Everton, they enter this match a major positive regression candidate at home. 

The Toffees own a -3 home goal differential compared to a +8.3 expected goal differential, per fbref.com. As home favorites, it’s a +0 goal differential vs. a +7.1 expected goal differential. 

Everton also match a pair of historically profitable systems. 

Since 2021-22, home favorites sitting between -210 and +155 that won the previous meeting are 71-45 SU, assuming they’ve surrendered two or fewer goals in their last two games. 

Additionally, home favorites that bossed an opponent in the previous meeting generally do well. 

Since the 2020-21 season, home favorites that drew or lost their previous game and won the last meeting by at least two goals are 26-13-1 ATS, assuming two additional factors: 

• The opponent’s win percentage is between 10% and 40%
• The game number is between 20 and 38

Finally, Burnley are a major negative regression candidate away from home. 

Entering Saturday’s match, they’ve posted a -14 goal differential against a -20 expected goal differential on the road.  expect a loss against an Everton side due for a win. 

One more factor to consider here. 

There are six teams that both create more than 1.41 npxG per 90 and allow under 1.39 npxG per 90 this season: Arsenal, Brighton, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Man City. 

Burnley have earned points only twice in 10 fixtures against those sides – both lucky by expected goals – and possess a -23.9 post-shot expected goal differential. 

Just against Everton and Brighton – both played at full strength with no penalties – they’ve posted a -2.25 post shot expected differential per 90 minutes. 

As a result, expect a win for an Everton side due for major positive regression as favorites.
